THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TOMARK

CHAPTER 12

11And He began to aspeak to them in bparables: A man planted a cvineyard and put a hedge around it and dug a vat for a dwinepress and built a tower; and he leased it out to evinedressers and went fabroad.

2 And he sent a aslave to the vinedressers at the proper time so that from the vinedressers he might take of the fruit of the vineyard.

131And they asent to Him some of the 2Pharisees and bHerodians that they might catch Him in Hiscspeech.

14 And they came and said to Him, Teacher, we know that You are true and 1do not fear anyone, for You do not regard the 2aperson of men, but teach the bway of God in truth. Is it lawful to give ctribute to dCaesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?

15 But He, knowing their ahypocrisy, said to them, Why do you btempt Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may look atit.

16 And they brought one. And He said to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to Him, Caesar's.

17 And Jesus said to them, The things that are Caesar's arender to Caesar, and the bthings that are God's cto God. And they marveled greatly at Him.

181And some aSadducees came to Him, who say that there is bno resurrection, and they cquestioned Him, saying,

19 Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if anyone's brother dies and leaves a awife behind and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

20 There were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and when he died, he left no seed;

21 And the second took her and died, leaving behind no seed; and the third similarly;

22 And the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.

24 Jesus said to them, Is it not because of this that you err, that you do anot know the Scriptures nor the bpower of God?

25 For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.

26 But concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, inthesection concerning the abush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the bGod of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob''?

27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the aliving. You err greatly.

41 And He sat down opposite the atreasury and 1bwatched how the crowd cast 2cmoney into the treasury. And many rich people cast in much.

42 And one apoor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a 1quadrans.

43 And He called His disciples to Him and said to them, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has cast in more than all those who were casting into the treasury,

44 For they all cast in out of their surplus, but she, out of her lack, has cast in all that she had, her whole aliving.
